The distinguished German surname Hanzel originated in the northern province of Schleswig-Holstein. The name is related to the personal name "Hans," meaning "Jehovah has favored," and refers to "a son of Hans."
The surname Hanzel was first found in Hamburg, where the name contributed greatly to the development of an emerging nation which would later play a large role in the tribal and national conflicts of the area. In later years the name branched into many houses, each playing a significant role in the local social and political affairs. Hanselman is also connected to several place names in the Holstein region.
